And Pharaoh was angry with his two servants, with the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker

And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them and they were kept in prison for some time.

And in the morning when Joseph came to them he saw that they were looking sad.

Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?

And on the vine were three branches and it seemed as if it put out buds and flowers, and from them came grapes ready for cutting.

Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three branches are three days

But keep me in mind when things go well for you, and be good to me and say a good word for me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison:

Now when the chief bread-maker saw that the first dream had a good sense, he said to Joseph, I had a dream and in my dream there were three baskets of white bread on my head

Then Joseph said, This is the sense of your dream: the three baskets are three days

Now the third day was Pharaoh's birthday, and he gave a feast for all his servants and he gave honour to the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker among the others.

But the chief bread-maker was put to death by hanging, as Joseph had said.

And out of the Nile came seven cows, good-looking and fat, and their food was the river-grass.

And the seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep.

And after them came up seven other heads, thin and wasted by the east wind.

And in the morning his spirit was troubled and he sent for all the wise men of Egypt and all the holy men, and put his dream before them, but no one was able to give him the sense of it.

Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker

And there was with us a young Hebrew, the captain's servant, and when we put our dreams before him, he gave us the sense of them.

Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they took him quickly out of prison and when his hair had been cut and his dress changed, he came before Pharaoh.

Then Joseph said, Without God there will be no answer of peace for Pharaoh.

And out of the Nile came seven cows, fat and good-looking, and their food was the river-grass

And the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first

And again in a dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, coming up on one stem:

And the seven thin heads made a meal of the seven good heads and I put this dream before the wise men, but not one of them was able to give me the sense of it.

The seven fat cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years: the two have the same sense.

As I said to Pharaoh before, God has made clear to him what he is about to do.

And after that will come seven years when there will not be enough food and the memory of the good years will go from men's minds and the land will be made waste by the bad years

And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.

Let Pharaoh do this, and let him put overseers over the land of Egypt to put in store a fifth part of the produce of the land in the good years.

And let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food.

Then Pharaoh said to his servants, Where may we get such a man as this, a man in whom is the spirit of God?

You, then, are to be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by your word: only as king will I be greater than you.

Then Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and he had him clothed with the best linen, and put a chain of gold round his neck

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh and without your order no man may do anything in all the land of Egypt.

Now Joseph was thirty years old when he came before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from before the face of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.

And Joseph got together all the food of those seven years, and made a store of food in the towns: the produce of the fields round every town was stored up in the town.

And before the time of need, Joseph had two sons, to whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, gave birth.

And to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow.

Then came the first of the seven years of need as Joseph had said: and in every other land they were short of food but in the land of Egypt there was bread.

And everywhere on the earth they were short of food then Joseph, opening all his store-houses, gave the people of Egypt grain for money so great was the need of food in the land of Egypt.

And all the people were surprised and said, Is not this the Son of David?

And having knowledge of their thoughts he said to them, Every kingdom having division in itself is made waste, and every town or house having division in itself will come to destruction.

And if I by Beelzebub send evil spirits out of men, by whom do your sons send them out? So let them be your judges.

Or how may one go into a strong man's house and take his goods, if he does not first put cords round the strong man? and then he may take his goods.

So I say to you, Every sin and every evil word against God will have forgiveness but for evil words against the Spirit there will be no forgiveness.

Make the tree good, and its fruit good or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad for by its fruit you will get knowledge of the tree.

The good man out of his good store gives good things and the evil man out of his evil store gives evil things.

For by your words will your righteousness be seen, and by your words you will be judged.

But he, answering, said to them, An evil and false generation is looking for a sign and no sign will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Jonah:

The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: because they were turned from their sins at the preaching of Jonah and now a greater than Jonah is here.

But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of a man, goes through dry places looking for rest, and getting it not.

Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits worse than himself, and they go in and make it their living-place: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first. Even so will it be with this evil generation.

And one said to him, See, your mother and your brothers are outside, desiring to have talk with you.

And he put out his hand to his disciples and said, See, my mother and my brothers!
